At present, the COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control is in the most arduous key stage. HEI deeply implements the spirit of the important instructions given by General Secretary Xi and the decisions and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and carries out various requirements of the provincial and municipal governments and the group company on the epidemic prevention and control and the work and production resumption. HEI has successively issued multiple relevant documents such as the document on the work plan for the work and production resumption, sending employees abroad and the epidemic prevention and control and the document on strengthening the office meeting management after the work resumption. It strives to ensure that both the work resumption and the epidemic prevention and control will be carried out smoothly and spares no effort to succeed in fighting the epidemic and completing the production and operation milestones.

To actively accelerate the work and production resumption, based on the positive results achieved in the previous-stage epidemic prevention and control at the overseas project sites of HEI, HEI has focused on the arrangement and planning for the project implementation, overcome various difficulties such as the difficulty of requiring the relevant personnel, equipment and materials to arrive at the construction site during the difficult domestic epidemic period, widely collected wisdoms, gathered manpower, worked all out to ensure the quality, milestone completion, and contract fulfillment, and orderly promote the implementation of the overseas projects. Now some good news has come from some projects.

On February 19, 2020, 10:58 a.m. local time, the construction of the first pile foundation of the Bin Qasim Phase III Project officially started, which marked that the project had entered a new stage from the design preparation to the construction at the project site.

The time period from the official signing of the Bin Qasim Project Contract to the taking effect of the contract is only two months. Such a “HE speed” has not only shown the efficiency and professionalism of the project team of HEI, but also proven that Karachi Electric Supply Company Limited has correctly trusted HE Brand. To fully promote the progress of the project, the project team also worked at the project site during the Spring Festival. The project team strictly made arrangements for the overseas epidemic prevention and control and spared no effort to make preparations for the piling work to ensure that the above two tasks will be completed successfully. The project team made concerted efforts, overcame difficulties, solved various problems and reduced the impact of the epidemic on the project design and construction to the maximum extent. The team members worked at home and abroad without considering the time difference. They concentrated on promoting the drawing review progress and gathering resources to meet the construction requirements and ensure that the milestones of the project will be completed smoothly.

Making an overall plan for both the epidemic prevention and control and the production and operation task is both a fierce battle and a great examination. The first pile foundations of the two projects have been successfully piled, which has forcefully proven that HEI has overcome the impact of the epidemic, reliably promoted the implementation of the overseas projects and successfully completed the first part of the great work resumption examination. HEI will strive to achieve its annual production and operation target and hand in a good answer sheet in the great examination of work resumption, production resumption, production and operation while it spares no effort to complete various epidemic prevention and control tasks well and surely succeed in preventing and controlling the epidemic.
